Lyon skipper Cris set to miss Man Utd UCL clash

Lyon captain Cris has admitted he is unlikely to be fit in time to face Manchester United in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

The Brazil defender has not featured for the French champions since tearing
ligaments in his right knee in August, but was on the bench for last week's 1-1
first-leg draw.

But a muscular inflammation ruled Cris out of his side's 2-0 victory over Metz
on Saturday and, although he could face Lille three days earlier, the
30-year-old confirmed he is likely to miss the Old Trafford clash on March 4.
